2. Draw the stress-strain diagram for mild steel and explain the salient points? 4

3. The steel rod shown in Fig. 2 is subjected to 8

the loading. If the cross-sectional area of the
rod is 50 mm2,determine the displacement of
its end D. Neglect the size of the couplings at
B, C, and D

4. The elastic portion of the stress–strain 8
diagram for a steel alloy is shown in the Fig.
3. The specimen from which it was obtained
had an original diameter of 13 mm and a
gauge length of 50 mm. When the applied
load on the specimen is 50 kN, the diameter is
12.99265 mm. Determine Poisson’s ratio for
the material.
